Just as many Second Amendment advocates have anticipated, gun control legislation being proposed by Senator Feinstein has gone far beyond what has become known as "assault rifles". In fact the proposed law would ban almost every type of semiautomatic gun on the market including handguns and shotguns.

Feinstein is clearly trying to expand the definition of assault weapons to just about every firearm by claiming if they have "high-capacity ammunition feeding devices" then they are "military-style assault weapons".

The following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:

Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:

120 specifically-named firearms;

Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and

Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.

Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:

Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test;

Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test; and

Even if this proposed legislation is negotiated down from its current draconian state, the writing is on the wall. The powers that be want to confiscate nearly all weapons from free citizens, while their hired enforcers will continue to have access to them.

Looking at the common trend between the recent shooting sprees one notices that in all of the incidents, whether they were caused by SSRI's, or government sponsored false-flags, the supposed suspect is accused of using an assault rifle to commit their crimes. This broad reaching bill is for show. The true target is assault rifles.

Congress will deliberate, and compromises will be made to the bill where most if not all weapons will be removed EXCEPT for semi-auto rifles. Semi-auto rifles are the target here, because they are the closest thing to what the military uses a civilian can get their hands. Try going up against a squad of soldiers armed with full-auto rifles, and all you have are a few semi-auto handguns and some bolt-action rifles.

The NRA will then claim a great victory for gun owners in getting most of the weapons on the bill removed, and the media will probably play it up as a defeat for gun control, while at the same time criticizing anyone who complains about the banning of semi-automatic rifles as being a "gun nut".

The purpose of the Second Amendment is to arm people in order to prevent future tyranny. They need the tools to do this.

The term "Well Regulated" in the Second Amendment meant "Well Manned and Equipped " in 1791 as was determined in the 1939 United States v. Miller case after referencing the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. The concept of Government Regulation, as we understand it today, did not exist at the time.

United States v. Miller also determined that the term "Arms" refers to "Ordinary Military Weapons" (not crew operated). American Citizens have the right to Keep and Bear, which means Own and Carry, any weapons that a soldier carries into battle. That includes past, present and future weapons. A Militia consisted of armed volunteers willing to fight with their personal arms and not under government control.

To limit the Second Amendment to muskets would be the equivalent of limiting the First Amendment to writings in quill pens.

This says all that needs to be said Feinstein is Insane every time she opens her mouth she violate her oath of office to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. she has repeatedly Identified herself with her own words that she is a domestic enemy of the U.S. Constitution.Will some one in California please take appropriate actions to at least have her committed to a place wher she can no longer hurt someone with her insane prattle.

Congress seems to be worried about firearms. I am worried about a Congress that bankrupts what is left of the USA with the help of at least one"corporation" known as the Federal Reserve listed on Dun & Bradstreet. too many pelosi's and reid's and feinstein puppets in the play room. America has really lowered itself with too many types and then some of the clowns mentioned a sentence or two ago.

"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution, are null and void." Chief Justice Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 5, U.S. (Cranch) 137, 174,176

"Where the meaning of the constitution is clear and unambiguous, there can be no resort to construction to attribute to the founders a purpose of intent not manifest in its letter." Norris v. Baltimore, 172, Md. 667; 192 A 531.0.

"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 491.

I agree- "Pass any law you want- Americans will not give in on this subject". The constitution IS the Supreme Law and that trumps any bogus, communist, Tyrannical law. The people I have talked to lately ALL say they will ignore any more gun laws other than keeping them out of the hands of idiots- and that includes gov officials. The purpose of any gun ban is to take over the constitution, thus the people soon after the planned dollar collapse. I trust OUR military will stand with the people and fight along with the people against even the foreign troops they plan on sending here to complete total takeover.

Someone posted "Pass any law you want..Nobody cares". You'll care when the Feinstein Police pull you over and catch you with xx Gun and you are facing a felony. They arrest law abiding gun owners every day in NY & NJ.

Meanwhile, the DHS purchases how many rounds of hollow point ammunition? How many rounds of .223 bullets? Local police departments possess armored vehicles, drones, special ops vans and fully automatic weapons, but disarmament of our neighbors, families and friends, who own much less powerful weaponry, is supposed to make us feel safe? Armed goons, as seen at the G20 power-elite conference, don storm trooper outfits, bang their shields like wannabe Roman warriors, AGAINST AMERICAN STUDENTS and like petty tyrants declare lawful protest illegal, all while they are equipped with such machinery as has never been seen on this Earth? Can we cut through the big pile of shit lies and soberly confront what interests are truly being defended and for what purpose, for the love of God? I suppose the Statist Fascist God-Men are beyond the limitations of us mere, irresponsible mortals. Somehow this centralization of power in the hands of other human beings who call themselves 'officials' courtesy of our money does not raise any alarm. We should not question the intentions of the state or its monied foreign patrons. We dare not say, at risk of being labeled terrorists, that this government is criminal, that its stewards are shameless, treasonous, sell-out whores, that its money, handed out by counterfeiting, foreign thieves, is made of nothing, and yet its debt is somehow real for all. For one hundred years, a foreign power has been at war with this country from the shadows and has conquered us silently through devil-like cunning and our own ignorance. We dare not say it. Because a slave does not speak to loudly of mistreatment at the hands of it's master. Folks, the time is quickly approaching. You will have to choose at what point you say no to these criminal, fascist pigs who desire your total subjugation. It's been 100 years of lies. How long will you let it continue? 1913-2013: the Silent Conquest of America, flattered that it was rich and wealthy as it was destroyed and made poor from within.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't allow for ANY federal laws on firearms. Period. We're sick of the half-measures and the beating around the bush on this essential, natural right - the right to Keep and Bear Arms.Here's our new model legislation for your state to Nullify every federal gun law:http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2ndamendmentpreservation/

Who is behind the fraudulent “War on Terror”? Who is behind the fraudulent “War on Drugs”? Who is behind the fraudulent “AGW”, or “Global Warming”, or “Gee, I-wonder-what-the-hell-they’re-going-to-call-it-next-Climate-Change?” Who is behind this drive to ban firearms, and your ability to defend yourself from government? Look no further, than the “Jew”-suits, the International Central Bankers, who own the so-called ‘Federal’ ‘Reserve’, their CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), their AIPAC, and all the dual Israeli-U.S. “citizens”, ZIO-NAZIS, that permeate our government agencies.

A warning to gun grabbers and collectivist media: By calling for gun control, you are unleashing your own worst nightmarehttp://www.naturalnews.com/038459_gun_grabbers_control_Second_Amendment.html

The 20th Cent. was the HOLOCAUST of the GENTILE (over 250 million people)(at 4:54 to 5:12 minutes into the video below)

Q: What did the “Jews” (Khazars) do, once they gained power in Russia?A: The Hidden History of Jewish Bolshevism & Freemasonryhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq8_EkupU5A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq8_EkupU5A

Most people are simply not aware of the TRUE history, of the so-called Russian “Revolution”. The Rothschilds had a VENDETTA, against the Romanov Family – the Royal Family of Russia – dating from the early 1800′s, following the Treaty of Vienna, in which the Tsar did not play along with the Rothschilds. In addition to this long-standing vendetta, the Tsar’s foreign investments, were largely held by Western Banks, owned by Rothschild-agents. So, it wasn’t a “revolution” of the people, by the people, for the people. It was about the Rothschild Family deposing the Romanov Royal Family, and STEALING THEIR WEALTH! And, killing some 20-60 million Russian christian peasants.

Look, the Jesuits (“Jew”-suits), the International Central Bankers, their CFR, their CIA, AIPAC, and all the dual-Israeli-U.S. “citizens” (ZIO-NAZIS) who use the U.S. to further the goals of world “Jew”-ry (Khazar-ry), have two stated, primary goals:

1) Global debt-enslavement of humanityand,2) Global de-population.

THAT is the N.W.O. DOES THAT put their current attempted gun grab into better perspective? If they make the USA a ‘gun-free zone’ – IT’S OVER.

This stupid, psychotic, bi*ch lives in a fantasy land. I couldn't care LESS if they pass this abortion of a bill. I utterly have no intention of complying with any of it. I've told our local cops, you come for my guns, I will kill you. And they, believe me. Since most of them are friends anyway. But, as I told them, my "friends" don't try to disarm me, especially over Socialist/Liberal "laws".

Feinstein is an 80 year old biddy, half conscious, and evil in that she regularly proposes and votes for legislation that always seems to benefit her husband and the Feinstein family. Yet, the fact that she is still in office lording it over American citizens, says more about the degenerate nature of Americans then it does about Madam Feinstein, does it not?

Strict gun control in all 34 other developed 1st world nations has reduced gun murders (and suicides and accidental deaths) by 90% in nations which have many guns, like Germany and Switzerland, to 99% in nations where gun ownership is relatively rare, such as Japan, the UK, Spain, and Austria.

Even in the US, the weak gun laws of 93 and 94 (the Brady Act and the ban on assault weapons, which left over 1 million existing in place) reduced gun homicides by 60% within 5 years (gunpolicy.org, Nationamaster, Wikidpedia all document this decline).

All these nations (Europe, Australia, Japan, Canada, etc) have bans on semi-automatics. The only other "advanced" nation which bucks this trend is Russia, which allows semi-automatics and like the US has a culture which glorifies violence.

Those who refuse to learn from experience (their own and that of others) are doomed to disaster.

Recently, the UK had 35 gun homicides; in 2006 Japan (even with criminal gangs) had zero, Spain and Austria have about 50 a year....and the US has 14,000 gun homicides, 31,000 overall gun deaths. MOre children die in the US each year from gun accidents (almost all in the home) than have been killed by guns in Japan (where rifles are legal) in the past decade. This is a disgraceful situation with a clear solution: strict laws, strictly enforced.Dale

I wonder if she'll give up the weapon she has a CCW for and I wonder how much money her husband has and will make from all the sales of weapons and his investments. Maybe a 100 million man/woman march on DC would be warranted.... And no matter what all the stats say theres a shove down your throat push here And the reps in both houses need to be told you vote for it you leave next time around and stick by it it .....

This is about independence, something tyrannies hate with a passion. When you have to depend on the state to protect you, you're obligated to the dictates of that state regardless of how destructive those dictates my be. A truly independent people are a well armed people.

The deaths that you state are a result of the culture, not the guns themselves. As American's culture declined, violence in general (not just with guns) increased. The idea that taking guns a way from a culturally violent society will automatically make that society less violent is a very naive way of thinking. That's like thinking that if you keep a machete out of the hands of Jason Voorhees, or a kitchen knife out of the hands of Michael Myers they won't kill anyone.

Anyway, we aren't buying it. The corruption of this government has been exposed to to great of a degree for any sane minded person to believe that it really cares about it citizens, and the "clear solution" that you stated makes me suspect of your motives.

Abide by nothing. It's all illegal. They are the lawless ones. We listen to none of it. Come and get it Feinstein. Let's see your scared b!tch @ss come and get them. Let's start with disarming all your pathetic bodyguards....you and all the Nobama politicians. Let's disarm all the Little Lord Fauntleroy schools all your Illuminati brats attend. Let's get rid of the Gestapo Secret Service, the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, all their arms. We won't stop with disarming the puny little guys. You aholes orchestrate all these terroristic acts, and you expect us to believe all your Bullsh!t. Go straight to hell all of you. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Listen bud...you got Switzerland all wrong. Each and every male kid who hits the age of 16 is sworn into the Swiss Army and given a government issue rifle. Some gun control at 16 years old! Not to mention, and I know this from personal family fact who lived there and I visited and spoke to them, the Swiss people are ALL ARMED. And every single solitary house that is built must have a bomb shelter bunker in it, and must withstand the age of 200 years! Unlike the cr@p they build in the United States. The Fourth Reich is rising again in Germany, but don't count on it in Switzerland. You are all wrong about that. Why do you think Hitler never invaded Switzerland? And even the Japanese emperor during WW2 said the reason he never invaded the United States was because, "in America, there is a rifle behind every blade of grass."

Why is this idiot even out of jail, after being the low class twit she is and stuffing tons of money in her bra? Her bra! Yes a mature classy woman she is. NOT. People with one brain cell like she has really has NO right to make laws about anything...

I am alarmist about the gun grab and do in fact view it as a totalitarian gesture. However, this must be said as well-300 million guns are not doing a very good job of defending our liberty right now, and I am to be assured they will in the future?

Guns don't defend people some say, gun holders defend people against people with guns. I surmise this can only occur when the liberty defenders see the whites of the foes eyes and a semi-automatic in their hand when they come no knocking at midnight. Not cricket I suppose to stand up for your rights before the come to the door.

To Publius, and whoever else assumes that all the guns known to be currently in the hands of US citizens have not served and do not now serve the purpose of defending our liberties:

1. The American colonists did not run around shooting British tax collectors, or appointed governors stifling colonial representation in Parliament, or customs officials preventing free colonial trade with other countries, or even soldiers (uniformed military police) rooming and boarding in colonial households.

2. Onerous and heavy-handed as British colonial rule tended to be, Great Britain was loath to push her subjects that one step too far, lest open insurrection result.

3. The British finally did go that one step too far, when they moved to seize colonial weapons and munitions at Lexington and Concord, and 15,000 rebels chased them back to, and bottled them up in, Boston. Thus was revolution declared. Not over one or many injustices, which the colonists had protested and would have continued to protest, but rather over the last freedom an individual possesses: the right to self defense in the face of armed tyranny.

Don't assume that the presence of a large, armed segment of the populace has not given the Powers That Be pause. Don't assume that, absent this large body of armed, vocal patriots, our plight would not be far worse than it is currently (I'm sure they take our pulse and temperature frequently--their trolls certainly show up on the Internet often enough, and I'm sure they report back to their masters--I'm sure they're here now).

The "gun-grab" is indeed totalitarian as you say, but it is not a "gesture." Many gun owners, like their colonial forebears, do not see it as a "gesture." Rather as the final step, yes, call it the "whites of their eyes" step, to a declaration of full dictatorship. The one Madison, Jefferson, the Adamses, Washington, Henry, Paine, Hamilton, Franklin and the rest of those old fuddy duddies warned us about.

There are still enough of us out here in the hinterlands who can read, and think, and move, and shoot. There are still a great many in law enforcement and our military who took--and took seriously--a lifelong oath to their country: to defend its Constitution against all enemies foreign (such as the UN) and domestic (such as Feinstein and the rest).

There are still enough real American patriots among us to give the Powers That Be pause.
